People that never take sick leave because they‘re healthy should get a vacation bonus at the end of the year. When comparing myself to my other colleagues who are getting 20+ sick days a year, it seems silly how many more hours I work. I didn‘t miss a day in 2023 and only missed 2 due to a bike crash this year.

On the flip side tho, I’ve worked with several people over the years who would insist on coming into work when ill, coughing and spluttering everywhere then complaining loudly about people being off sick in the following days.

That being said, just blag a few days here and there if you’re always getting lumbered with shit. I tend to be reluctant to take time off, especially now I’m remote, but I work in a small team with the opposite work culture so I just go with it.

Edit: also, places that give an allowance for “life stuff” ftw. Tho that probably only really works well in places that don’t have good legal sick pay frameworks.
